Question 2


The Invisible Red String
by Quen Law

In Chinese moi-yun means “to join people,” an apt description of a matchmaker’s task of bringing people together for the purpose of matrimony. Long ago, matchmakers in China were necessary and important community members during a time when falling in love was frowned upon and dating was unheard of. The only way for young people to meet and get married was through the services of a matchmaker, under the supervision of both sets of parents. Once the match was made and the wedding day chosen, the matchmaker would usually accompany the bride in a grand procession to the groom’s house to collect a large fee along with an invitation to the wedding feast.

Question 4
A modernized version of Romeo and Juliet follows the characters Javi and Mia, students from rival school districts. Over the course of the story, their love causes a lot of strife. They end up getting expelled from their schools and having to move to different towns far apart.

Javi’s best friend Shae has been his mentor and social guide ever since Javi first moved to the school district. Shae tells Javi who is cool and who isn’t cool. She also warns Javi away from social faux pas. When Javi first admits his interest in Mia, Shae scolds him and tells him he’d better pick someone more suitable or else.

Mia’s best friends are Tommy and Red. Tommy would do anything for Mia, and frequently shows it. He gets her elected homecoming queen and builds her a float for the parade. Mia is embarrassed by some of his attention. Red is Mia’s confidant. But when he sees Mia at the fair with a boy in a rival school’s jacket, Red is furious. He shouts at Javi, and the scene devolves into a huge brawl between members of the different schools.
